My profile

Hello! I am 26 and I teach the 4th grade. I am a proud mommy of a wonderful little boy, Connor. He will be 1 on February 4! This has been the most amazing year of my life. I couldn't be happier. My husband and I would love to have another baby. We are thinking about trying in the summer sometime to have another one. We will see what happens!

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D.

Yes! The rolling around she does has been tickling my left side. Sometimes my lower left, near that ticklish bone area.

Sometimes I will be trying to fall asleep and she will roll and catch a spot. I start laughing and my husband starts laughing too, just seeing how funny it is for me. Too cute! Can't believe I'm posting at this time. It's 11pm and I am awake. My mom just woke me up to see if I had gone shopping!

That messed up the sleep groove. Grrrr. Thanks mom! Don't know if to laugh or cry. LOL....Laugh!

I get weird little moments, like in the beginning with m/s. The other day it started in the morning and kept on. I couldn't stand my mom's food either. Just the thought of it but I had to eat a little or I'd feel worse. I was hungry at the time! Maybe I shouldn't have done that. That funky feeling stayed with me the whole day and part of the next day. Weird. The baby has been moving a lot today. More than before. My moment of awe is the lopsided bump on my right side when she bunches up!It's sweet

yet scary looking at the same time

. I guess it just reminds me that I am carrying a tiny human being in there that is half of me (poor thing! LOL). It makes it much more real.

Taylin-N-Alyssa - Wednesday, 29 October
Eeeeew. I would have been ticked too. This one guy we know bugs me out everytime I see him. He just has to comment that my belly is soooo small and that our baby must be so little. Well, during that U/S, the baby was not little at all! She was taking up every bit of space available for her in there. They act like my child will be a pygmy or something. It's awful!

But on a happier note, we try to figure out what is kicking me. We can't. I assume that the lighter taps are like a fist or elbow? I know that the bladder kicks are her legs. Those are brutal! We were told where her head was so we have an idea what we poke or rub.

But she likes to shift and it hurts! She likes the right side and now I can feel her way out to my sides. Scary. That's how I know I'm getting closer to the 3rd tri. Just 3 more weeks!

What have you been feeling??? Does baby have any preferences?

Mother of Mi Raye of Light - Wednesday, 29 October
That is crazy! Wow! 12 weeks is not even enough time compared to 6 weeks. Taking 6 weeks means your baby will be one month when you get back to work. Are you kidding me? I guess some things are more important to other people than some. I'm amazed.

Juneblessing - Wednesday, 29 October
Hi! You found me:)

Taylin-N-Alyssa - Tuesday, 28 October
Add blunt doctors to that list too. That comment would do it too. There's certain things/comments lately that I just can't deal with from people in general. One being weight. People who comment like that on weight to a preggie ticks me off. I think they forget how sensitive we can be. I have ALWAYS encouraged pregnant women and tried to help self-esteem because no one knows what that person could be going thru at that specific moment. One comment could be the thing to set it all off. At 20 weeks, when I was having bad growing pains and cramps, my crazy OB threw his hands up in the air and said "if you are in labor, there's nothing I could do anyway!" I was in shock at the brutal truth but did he have to be so BLUNT about it and then do all the arm flaring?

I went home close to being traumatized but got thru it. Yes, my husband again!

Glad to hear it wasn't anything serious with the pain you got. Better to check than stay worried and in pain.

kimmeym - Tuesday, 28 October
lucky you. At least you know what it is. I have my visit with my doctor on Thursday so I'll find out at that point about it.

Taylin-N-Alyssa - Tuesday, 28 October
I hope so too! I do love this little baby in there. The day turned out to be ok. They had cake at the office today so that made me feel better.

I was really craving something sweet. My daughter was close to being late this morning for school and we live 2-3 blocks away! I had my husband take her for me (and he was running late too!) but you can hear the school bell from the house. Once I heard it ring, it set me off! LOL! I laugh at it now but OH, how I hated that bell this morning!

I'm so slow now I can't even get her there on time. Eggs, bells, bad hair, tight clothes...I think we are so pregnant that we are allowed a meltdown!

Taylin-N-Alyssa - Tuesday, 28 October
Thank you! I hope it gets better for us. I don't know how my husband does it. But we do talk a lot too. I love our relationship. With this pregnancy I am very needy of his attention. But I think of him so much. He's had his days too. I end up crying when he does and he freaks at that pretty sight. Poor thing. Once I cry, he knows I'm about done. I can't help it because he is the stronger one when it comes to emotional situations. When I see him stressed, it gets me worse. I just can't believe how the two pregnancies have differed. It sucks to be sad and frustrated. I try to be positive but it will get the best of me some days!

Actually the pain is concentrated in the pelvic area. It makes it painful to open your legs when getting out of bed, putting on clothes on your lower region basically any movement where you have to move that part of your body. You can research it online. I found out about it after researching online. I've been getting the pain for a few weeks now.

fitzierara - Sunday, 26 October
I have had a bad pregnancy with sickness, but fingers crossed mine isnt too bad at the moment. You may have a stomach bug as with pregnancy your immune system is lowered so that your body gives the best care to baby... sadly for us this means geting ill. I would suggest you go and see your doc 3 days is enough to be feeling rough. Try drinking lots of boiled water thats helped with me and my sickness hope this helps x

I just read ur comment about the change in color. That's caused by hormones and I read in a book that the purpose is so the baby can find them. Mine are actually wa bigger and way darker so I think it's pretty normal. Hope this helps!

Maternity leave in the US does suck. It's really bad if you're not really in a stable position money-wise. I won't have been at my job a full year yet when I give birth, so I don't get any kind of garuntee that my job will be secure. Instead, I have to take a leave of absence, save my money like crazy till then, and hope that my job's there when I get back. :/

Wierd, I grew up in Rome then moved to Latham (small town on the outside of Albany). Small world!

Mother of Mi Raye of Light - Sunday, 19 October
I don't have a crib yet either so you're not alone. I don't have anything yet. My only thing is that I don't want to buy something that someone will bring to my baby shower, but I'm hopeful that it'll all work out.

Mother of Mi Raye of Light - Sunday, 19 October
They told me the same thing about FMLA and I'm with you on that one. I have no idea what I'm going to do for childcare. I have to think fast. I have Mon and Tues off so at least for those two days I don't have to pay anything. I'm an Administrative Clerk for JetBlue Airways which means I just do paperwork all dang day. It'll be nice doing something else for those twelve weeks. Time's flying. Our babies are almost here. I feel so unprepared. All I have ready right now is myself. My husband and I agreed not to but anything until after the baby shower which is early December, but not buying anything just has me so so nervous. I'll feel better once I start buying something. My house does not look like I'm getting ready for a baby unless I'm in it with my big ole' belly...lol. It's such a bitter sweet experience right now.

I had that real bad heart burn with my oldest girl. I have been doing pretty good with this one.

The baby has the hiccups all the time though! Tooo Cute!

Mother of Mi Raye of Light - Saturday, 18 October
I saw your posts. They're expecting me to only take 6 weeks also. haha...funny!!!! I know it's going to be hard but I'm taking the entire 12, even though the first 6 is only 60% of my salary and the other 6 is without pay. Also I should have accrued some PTO time to take 2 additional weeks, so I'm taking those first before maternity leave and they're full pay. Do they really think I'm leaving my baby at home and go back to work when she's a month and a half?

mine4ever219 - Friday, 17 October
Girl, I have been having streching pains like no other.
